read moreIf you are a professional service provider - from a counselor, computer technician, or attorney to a massage therapist, landscaper, or exterminator - you have expertise in your field. And, if you have been practicing your trade or profession for a certain number of years, there is an excellent chance you have gained specialized knowledge - "tricks of the trade" so to speak - or insight you could share with industry peers or prospective clients. You'd be amazed at the media and marketing opportunities for your expertise and even more amazed at what creating and publishing a book could do for your market share, status, social media profile, future opportunities, and notoriety.

read moreAre you an educator? Do you teach at any level - from pre-school and K-12 through post-graduate? If so, we know you have acquired enough expertise and material in at least one subject area to create a book. Why haven't you? Gold Leaf Press Publisher, Rebecca J. Ensign began her career in college textbook publishing. Consequently, she understands textbooks and academic works. And while University and College presses are an educator's first choice for publishing, you can often end up with a very false impression of the publishing process as a result of your experience with these types of presses.

The Inspirational book market (which includes all denominations - religious and spiritual) continues to be a leading book market. This statistic refers to books being sold to readers who are continuously curious and to book-buyers who realize that soothing and nurturing the mind and soul is as important as nurturing the body. If you are a life coach, pastor, minister or clergy member, or if you have had a particularly inspirational life experience, it is in your nature to share it with others so they too may gain from your life experiences and apply your wisdom to their own lives.

They are also strong time-tested avenues for realizing your writing, publishing or career objectives. Furthermore, and no less important, if you find that you, your profession, area of expertise, passion, title, or hobby falls into one of these categories, especially if you already have relevant content created or drafted, we urge you to consider developing a publishable work - whether it's a book, a downloadable pdf, a white paper, a website, a blog platform, a podcast, or a webinar series.

read moreWhile a printed bound book is still among the most prestigious means of formally preparing and packaging content, as you see, it is no longer the only option available. In fact, many of Ensignia's Content Marketing clients - from Corporate thought-leaders and Subject Matter Experts to Entrepreneurs, Business Owner-operators, individual Authors, and agents of change - start out as Gold Leaf Press prospective clients whose idea, message, purpose and actual content turns out to be much better suited for a pdf download, a Blog campaign, an ebook, or an article series in lieu of a formally published book, at least initially.

read moreNovels (and Children's books) are challenging to develop, market and sell - if you're not already a celebrity. At any rate, Gold Leaf Press welcomes (and emphatically encourages!) the opportunity to conduct an Editorial Assessment and Editorial Development (mandatory 90% of the time) for works of fiction. Depending on your genre and potential readership, we can collaborate with you throughout each phase of the creative, graphic production, and publication process to assure you develop, illustrate, format, and publish as professionally, competitively, and cost-effectively as possible.

If you accept that, you may be suited for Gold Leaf Press' Collaborative Publishing Services Program. There are currently 600,000 - 1 million books published in the US each year -a jump from 35,000 - 50,000 books published each year in the US in 2003.
